D9, you are very generous with your tips, and with your time to write them all here for us! Thank you so much! I've used retin A, and it does wonders, but don't we need a prescription for that? Right now I am using TriLuma to reduce hyper pigmentation. I did not know that ballerinas had to be without expression. I could never use my Soni care toothbrush on my lips. They would bleed! D9, from what I see in your pictures, your skin looks poreless, and fair, and light. Yet you use a scrub brush? I stopped buying expensive creams. I now use Cetaphil wash and lotion. This is what the doctors used when cleansing me before and after surgeries. D9, you washed the makeup off your face even after late-night events? What do you think about adding collagen, and what about glycolic? Please, tell us more. I like that you said "when we are older" indicating that we are not yet older! PL
